Google maps throws an error any time I try to search a location while VPN is enabled (iOS). At least when off WiFi.

Anyone else have this?

Suggests to me another example of how their service isn’t “free” but is only provided in exchange for the literal doxxing of my device, location, and likely identity……. Damn sketchy that is.

We all need to have better reflexes to use other services than Google first.

What do you recommend for an iPhone user

Well, Apple is a strong concurrent of Google in the online map market. Apple has it's own flavor: https://www.apple.com/maps/

True. I used Apple Maps years ago and felt like it was pretty mediocre. Although I’m sure it must have improved in recent years. I’ll give it another chance
